Adult Day Clubs are located in Nollamara, Stirling and Scarborough. Programs at each centre focus on wellness, life skills, educational activities, social and culturally specific activities and opportunities to support participants in maintaining their independence. Our programs also encourage interaction through socialisation, physical and mental stimulation. Programs are developed with input from participants and we have developed a number of specialised groups, such as Nollamara Men's Group that focuses on male interests and activities.

Mobile Day Clubs provide social bus outings, visiting cafes & restaurants for lunch, ten pin bowling, parks for BBQs, etc. Transport is provided to and from homes with morning tea provided at Dianella Community Centre.
